1. Longmeadow (13-1, last week: 1): Their unbeaten streak ended at 37 games, but in a 10-9 loss to Medfield the Lancers reinforced that they are right there among the best teams in the state. Friday’s game against St. John’s Shrewsbury could definitely be a preview of the Div. II Central/West final.

2. Westfield (9-2, last week: 2): Junior Sam Scarfo and sophomore Matt Chlastawa are the rare attacking players that are equally comfortable passing or scoring. Scarfo has 31 goals and 30 assists this year, while Chlastawa has 26 goals and 27 assists.

3. South Hadley (9-3, last week: 3): The Tigers picked up an impressive 16-2 win over Agawam this week as the Crotty brothers, Tom and Pat, combined for eight goals. South Hadley now is looking at a chance to knock Westfield its season-long hold on the No. 2 spot. The Valley Wheel opponents meet at Westfield High School Monday.

4. Agawam (8-4, last week: 4): All four Agawam losses this season came against the top three teams in the rankings. Although second place in the Valley League is still very much up for grabs, the Brownies can seal at least a share of first if they can get past East Longmeadow twice this week.

5. Minnechaug (8-5, last week: 5): The Falcons went to Shrewsbury and lost to an undefeated St. John’s team 14-5, continuing their extremely tough Central Mass. schedule. The challenging regular season should prepare the team for tournament time, especially if it sees a team like Algonquin or St. John’s again. The Falcons welcome Shrewsbury High School Friday in another tough one.

6. Mount Greylock (10-1, last week: 6): There’s really not much more to say about the Mounties, who have a ridiculous +139 goal differential this season after a 22-3 win over Monson and a 20-1 victory over St. Joseph’s. Mount Greylock has two remaining PVIAC teams on its schedule. It will travel to East Longmeadow Friday and Westfield May 21 in its last game of the season.

8. Chicopee (10-2, last week: 10): Back-to-back wins over Belchertown extended the Pacers’ win streak to six games and made the Suburban League title theirs for the taking. Junior Ryan Rockwal scored six goals with two assists in the second win over the Orioles, putting him past the 40-point mark this year.

9. Northampton (5-9, last week: 8): The importance of the Blue Devils’ comeback victory at East Longmeadow Tuesday cannot be overstated. Will Lombardi scored four times, including the go-ahead goal in the fourth quarter, to give him 28 this year. The automatic playoff berth that comes with a second-place league finish is still very much in play after the win.

10. Pittsfield (6-2, last week: NR): The Generals make their debut in the rankings after convincing wins over Lee and Taconic on the heels of an overtime loss to Chicopee. Senior Alex Teichert has already passed the 50-point plateau in just eight games. He scored five times with four assists in Monday’s win over the Braves.
